An Original Vintage Unfolded Japanese "B1" Art Exhibition Poster (29x41; measures 28 1/2" x 40 1/2" [72 x 103 cm]) (Learn More) Alphonse Mucha was a Czechoslovakian artist from the 1890s to the 1930s. He has been called the father of the Art Nouveau style and is well known for his advertising art as well as "The Slav Epic" series of paintings that depicted the history of the Czech and Slavic people. He produced many paintings, illustrations, advertisements, postcards, and designs. He passed away in 1939 at the age of 78. He was a Slav nationalist and Freemason, which made him a prime target as the Nazis overtook Czechoslovakia. He was arrested, then interrogated for several days, and after his release, he contracted pneumonia and died. Artist: Alphonse Mucha Important Added Info: Note that this is a rare Japanese "B1" poster that measures 28 1/2" x 40 1/2" [72 x 103 cm]! "B1" posters are FAR more rare than "B2" posters (which measure approximately 20" x 28 1/2"), and because they are larger (similar in size to a U.S. one-sheet), they are more impressive when displayed on a wall! Condition: good. There are some creases and tears of varying lengths (generally 1" or less but some are larger) around the edges. A few of the tears or other defects as described above are repaired with tape from the back. Learn More about condition grades
